Clean up after everyday light spills using only heat and 1-1/4 cups of water—no harsh chemicals or cleaners needed. Used periodically to clean light spills on the bottom of the oven, it keeps the oven clean and reduces the need for frequent self-clean cycles.

*Bacteria tested were K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus.

Quick Wash Cycle

Your small, lightly soiled loads will be clean in as little as 15 minutes with the Quick Wash cycle.

Cold Wash Cycle

Give your most vibrant colors the care they need with the Cold Wash cycle that adjusts wash actions and time, combined with gentle temperatures, to provide optimal fabric care.

Presoak Option

The Presoak option lets you skip soaking outside of the washer. Extra time is added in the washer before the wash cycle, which starts automatically when the option is complete.

Wash & Dry Option

Wash and dry tomorrow's outfit in the washer with the Wash & Dry Option. It automatically activates a fan so you can get tomorrow's outfits or sports uniforms ready without having to use the dryer.

Use the single load dispenser when you want to wash with a different detergent than the one currently in the Load & Go™ dispenser. Additional compartments for bleach and fabric softener make sure any additives get dispensed at just the right time during the cycle.

Smooth Wave Stainless Steel Wash Basket

Give clothes the care they need with the sleek pattern of the stainless steel wash basket that gently guides them.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sparky from Not Whirlpools best This machine replaced a Whirlpool Duet machine. It doesn't fair well in comparison. The end of cycle signal is nearly inaudible at its loudest setting. The control panel is almost inscrutable (difference between "normal" and "regular"? "heavy duty' and "bulky"), the owners "manual" is a joke, all about how to install the machine and next to nothing on control settings and meanings. There is no end of cycle indication and you can't see into the machine so if you don't know a load was washed by someone else it could set in there for days. It does wash clothes adequately is the best I can say for it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pvjanie from Confusing I like it, but am very disappointed with the owners manual. It does not explain the various computer screen messages if something is wrong. Also, my appliance repairman tells me to use a very small amount of detergent. The machine keeps telling me the amount of detergent is too low. Who to believe??? I also don’t understand why the times for washing are so much longer than they were with my old Whirlpool washing machine.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Elle W from Washes great I bought this unit about 2 weeks ago and I’m very disappointed that the washer fluid level has issues it keeps showing washing liquid low. Plus the stand that I purchased with it doesn’t fit properly the drawer doesn’t close all the way

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tina from Very ordinary Washing machine The overall design is not much different from the same brand I bought 10 years ago. It seems to me this new washer I just bought uses much more plastic instead of steel which makes the machine very light and unsteady, especially the door making me wonder if it would be broken anytime. The detergent dispenser is very hard to open and shaky with an open hole on the top which is a very strange design. The good feature is the light side of the washer which is helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Home45 from Great machine! I bought this for a new home and love it. It works for small or large loads and is very water wise. The automatic soap dispenser is a fantastic feature. Learning how to customize the features for your needs will take a few go rounds.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TC71 from Great washer I upgraded from the one just below and am sad it doesn't have WiFi. Other than that I love the load n go and it gets my clothes clean quickly.
